  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REPRESENTING THE TACTILE INTERACTION EMPLOYED BY AN ARRAY OF ULTRASOUND TRANSDUCERS
    Publication number: 20230076264
    Abstract: A system and method for rendering tactile interaction using an ultrasound transducer array by receiving a target field; computing one or more paths of pressure focal points of varying intensity such that the difference between a result field produced by the one or more paths of pressure focal points and the target field is minimized; and controlling an ultrasound transducer array in spatiotemporal modulation mode to simultaneously render the one or more computed paths of pressure focal points. The system and method for rendering tactile interaction using an ultrasound transducer array accurately represents dynamic interactions produced in a virtual environment with a varying pressure or force field.
